Hell, I say go for it then!!I tried the connection with wire nuts and with solder and the soldered connection was better. Just remember if U do use solder, to either use heavy duty heatshrink over the connections or at the very least, electrical tape.
Also, clean the bare solid core copper wire ends with 2000 grit sandpaper before soldering. And while your at it, put a ferrite clamp on each leg, orienting each for the least amount of noise.
Let us know how it turns out,
